Description
The objective of this proposal is to develop instrumentation and algorithms for acquiring facial features for facial recognition in low- and no-light conditions.We will use cross-spectrum matching by exploiting infrared polarimetric imagery which tends to show features that match more closely visible imagery than conventional infrared.In addition to thermal infrared, we will also test subjects in other parts of the infrared using polarimetric sensors.An assessment of the optimal combination of sensors will be completed and plans for implementing the hardware specifically for a facial recognition system will be prepared for Phase II.
